Question
Can you suggest suitable polishes and / or abrasives for polishing aluminium alloys.  This for parts of a motor bike.
Thank you

Answer
Hi Ian,

For heavy work, I use polish sticks designed for use with buffing wheels. I don't know the brand name. Check local auto parts stores, auto paint supply stores, or online for these products.

For uniform brass, I use Mothers Mag & Aluminum Polish.

Respectfully,
